The one hundred and sixty-first album: #161 Tim Buckley - Happy Sad
Unlike his first album, TIm Buckley's Happy Sad starts off with a jazz chord, a bass being played until it fades into a jazzy number with folk rock vocals.While the jazz influences stay, these get dialled back to more common folk rock, with some emotional and affecting songs. They are long, but the folk rock/jazz fusion mean that the songs don't outstay their welcome even at ten minutes - there's not enough repetition to get boring. Instead, it gets you into this flow state that's quite appealing and feels good throughout.
